Claude Cat Mod — Development skill for Claude Code

Claude Cat Mod 🐱

A tiny pixel-art cat that lives above your [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) prompt. It wanders around, watches your usage limits, and tells you when Claude finishes.


What it does

• **Wanders** back and forth above the prompt, sits down now and then, and blinks.

• **Works alongside Claude**, with a speech bubble showing the current tool (`‹Bash…›`) and a prop to match: a book for reading files, a laptop it types on for edits, a terminal for shell commands, a magnifying glass for searches. Between tools it runs around.

• **Announces when a turn finishes** (`‹done! 42s›`), plus a toast for turns longer than 20 seconds.

• **Reacts to failures** with a `>.<` face when a tool call errors.

• **Food bowl = context:** a bowl at the right end empties as the conversation fills up. Near the limit the cat mentions it; when the conversation is compacted, the bowl refills ("nom nom!").

• **Tracks your limits:** shows your 5-hour, 7-day and context usage in green, yellow or red. It gets sleepy at 80% of the 5-hour limit and sends a toast at 75% and 90%.

• **Keeps itself busy while you're idle**, mostly calmly (strolling, sitting, grooming itself, napping), with play now and then:

  • chases a ball of yarn, follows a butterfly, hops around, and takes little cat naps
  • hunts a mouse, and sometimes pins it under a paw (before it wriggles free and runs off)
  • stalks a bird, pounces ("nom?!"), and watches it fly away
  • goes fishing: a fishbowl, a fish tank or a river, depending on the scene, and sometimes catches one
  • chases a laser pointer dot back and forth until it vanishes ("where'd it go?")
  • mischief: finds a mug on a table, taps it… and knocks it off ("CRASH", "oops :3"), or sits right on top of your usage stats until you pet it
  • at night (11pm–6am) it mostly naps
